Re: KW c500 double set back tandem tandem 8X8 help
cool field rig!! but seems kind of dangerous pulling that kind of weight up like that. Why not
make it more like a roll off with rails that touch the ground then drag it up the rails? |

Re: KW c500 double set back tandem tandem 8X8 help
Thank you, Some fine tuning required but all in all im quite satisfied. The winch pulls as hard as i wanted it to, however no brake in neutral. :-(. I will play with my adjustments via programmer and through my radio, but not sure I will be able to improve it.

Re: KW c500 double set back tandem tandem 8X8 help
Jakyat, this is amazing!!! I've worked in the oilfield for 24 yrs and always got a kick out of these trucks. You have done a great job!!! Keep up the good work and more videos would be a treat to the rest of us as well.

I too have been working Alberta oilpatch for the past 25yr +. Running bed truck has always been one of my favorite things to doas far as work anyways. That is what drove my inspiration on this build. Seeing all the amazing accomplishments on this forum drove my belief tht i could pull this off. I am currently working on the gin poles and once they are operational, iwill shoot and post more video. PS where abouts in alberta are you from? |

Re: KW c500 double set back tandem tandem 8X8 help
Hey Jakyat, I'm from Camrose. I've always wanted to build one of these bad boys. Hopefully I'll start on it sometime this year. When I do, I might have to pick your brain a bit to try figure out a few things if you don't mind. Like those front fenders!!! they look bang on!! Again, great job and I will following this build for sure.

Re: KW c500 double set back tandem tandem 8X8 help
Looks awesome! If you are having trouble with the "cable" thickness bs strength try braided fishing line. Super flexible and you can get like 150 lb test. Not cheap, but awesome stuff. Learn knots because its not like normal fishing line or string, its slippery. I fish with it and will also use it in my Yarder. Good luck!

Twin steer and treadplate fenders, now that's a truck! Nice work on that rig.

Looks good! Anything with flat fenders and hood hinges is interesting for me!

Re: KW c500 double set back tandem tandem 8X8 help
Wow, this rig is awesome. I had a guy renting one of my homes in central PA that moved fracking equipment from site to site, one of his rigs looks just like yours. Nice job.

Re: KW c500 double set back tandem tandem 8X8 help
I really appreciate the comments. Still have lots of little detail work to do. Clearance lights, taillights etc. not sure what im doing for lights. As it is right now, there is no lights at all. That seems like a whole new ball game. A game that i shouldve planned for and i shouldve run the wiring....while building. Where do you draw the line? Easily tied up $5000.00 in this project already. Start doing lights...mfu....end up $6000.00 +. I still have to order rigging. Need chains, boomers, clevis's, tie back cables...
I have an understanding wife, but like i said where do you draw the line. I have a pretty good idea where she draws hers, and speaking from experience...i know better than x-ing her line. Thanks for looking guys!!! |

Wow bud you killed it...that's an outstanding build. You really nailed the fenders and hood of the c500 . I'm gonna post some of the pics of it in instagram on my page dedicated strictly to this hobby. Check it out and look at the feed back your pics will get. It's @scale_trucking_n_construction
